Desperate Housewives Star Officially Becomes Reba McEntire’s Love Interest in Happy’s Place Season 3
A new suitor for Bobbie
James Denton joins Happy’s Place in its fourth episode as JB, who is interested in Bobbie. The tavern co-owner is open to a new relationship while she and Emmett, played by Rex Linn, are taking romantic space.
Denton is known for playing Mike Delfino on Desperate Housewives, where Mike married Susan Mayer, portrayed by Teri Hatcher. He also had a recurring part as Dr. Jack Morgan on McEntire’s earlier sitcom, Reba.
The bartenders question JB
In the episode “Love Birds,” JB asks Bobbie on a date, but she is unsure how to handle the unfamiliar situation. Isabella, played by Belissa Escobedo, and Gabby, played by Melissa Peterman, initially suspect he may have another motive.
A preview shows the two bartenders confronting JB over a special drink. Isabella tells him she does not want Bobbie treated as a fling or a “side piece,” while Gabby also flirts with him.
JB explains his intentions
JB says he is genuinely interested in Bobbie and explains that he is a widower. He says he has held off on formally asking her out because he wants to get to know her first.
Isabella reminds him that time is limited and says she wants to protect her half-sister. She eventually encourages JB to find out whether Bobbie will accept a date.
